Limping and not laying eggs.

[hkenned]

Hi there,

I have a Rhode Island Red hen, a little over 1 year old. She has been limping for 6 days, and also hasn't layed an egg in 7 days.
* She doesnt show any signs of bumblefoot.
* No swelling, no cuts, no scabs, no heat coming from the foot, no visible injury.
* Her comb is nice and red.
* She eats and drinks just fine.
* Her crop seems to be working just fine.
* The limping hasn't gotten any better, or any worse, just the same every day.

I had a total of 3 chickens, counting her, but one of the 8 week old chicks died a week ago. Do you think her symptoms are possibly related? What should I do to treat her?

Did you ever figure out what was going on? I have a Rhode Island Red with the exact same thing going on and I don't know what to do to help her.I'd love to hear how it turned out for you and what you did! Thanks
